A stunning success at the Sundance and Toronto Film Festivals, Get Real recounts a coming out story of sixteen-year-old Steven Carter, who bears a tremendous crush on the school's top athlete, the handsome John Dixon. Steven has absolutely no problems with being gay but is smart enough to know that his parents and friends may not be as accepting. He can't tell his parents, and none of his friends know; he can only confide in his best pal, the overweight, feisty Linda, who wants nothing more than a romance of her own. Then John notices Steven's attention. "Shore captures the secret lives and desires of his teenage characters with a fresh eye that makes this film youthful and invigorating" (Piers Handling, Toronto International Film Festival). Cosponsored by Fenway Community Health Center.

With her thoughtful depiction of relationships and sexual identity in the nineties, Rose Troche of Go Fish fame has created a sophisticated and witty romantic comedy. The story revolves around flatmates Leo and Darren, and their friend Angie. Leo seeks a substantial relationship while Darren is content with casual sex. Leo, disillusioned with the singles scene, finally joins a "new-man" therapy group, where he meets the handsome Brendan. What follows is a fun romp with sparkling humor and buoyant performances. "Bedrooms and Hallways is an original, lively examination of the trials and tribulations of lust and love, brimming with scintillating performances by a fine cast of young British actors" (Michèle Maheux, Toronto International Film Festival Catalog.)
